Greetings potential saviors! I swear to you on my immortal soul that I have scoured these forums for an answer, and I can attest to having followed all technical instructions to the T, but after countless hours of suffering through endless failures I am humbly asking for the assistance of someone wiser, someone stronger, and someone with the compassion and fortitude to lend hand to someone as desperate as myself.

My phone is a T-Mobile myTouch 3g (Google Branded) with the following specs:

Firmware Version: 1.6

Baseband Version: 62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02

Kernel Version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 - android-build apa26#19

Build Number: DMD64

Sapphire pvt 32B ship s-on g

Radio 2.22.23.02

cpld-10

HBOOT 1.33.0007 (SAPP30000)

I'm trying to root my phone and from what I have read it is necessary to create a "goldcard" in order to flash the sappimg.nbh file. I followed the steps (theunlockr) and was successful according to their test of a computer being able to read the SD card after the process of copying the goldcard image to the micro SD. I've made four separate goldcard's using Kingston 2GB cards, each time I believe successfully.

When moving onto the process of flashing sappimg.nbh through HBOOT I continually received the same error message "Update Fail, Main Version Older." This error message appears as the update is finalizing the checksum process. Does anyone have an idea of what my next step should be? Is there a more recent sappimg.nbh file that I should use? Thanks for your help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yakfarm:
Problem Solved

Problem solved! It turns out that I required a later version of the sappimg file. I used 2.53.707.2 sappimg (Google searchable). The only issue is that when the phone booted with that image it did not have Andriod market installed, which is needed for downloading Linda file manager for a subsequent step. After a short freak out, I then loaded the original sappimg that I downloaded from theunlockr redirect. Tada...was able to move forward with the root process and am now running Froyo!!! I hope this helps others.
[Desire General] tommo123:
for apps that don't show (like google earth?)
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
Use Astro file manager.. After you have downloaded/installed an app from the market you can make backup for it (or them all together). Once you have made a backup their apk files are saved and are hence available under your sdcard in a directory called "backups"
[Desire General] brumle80:
Sorry, but there is no way you can download apk's directly from the market afaik, you will have to find them through other sources on the net...

crap. ta though brumle.

[General Topics] gilamran:
Hi,

I've a new HTC desire, and I LOVE it!

The problem is with the apps... some of them require you to give them access to your phone calls or location etc when they don't really need it...

What should I do? can I remove this access from the apps?

Thanks

Gil.
[General Topics] orb3000:
Welcome to forums

That´s the Android/Google way of doing things...
[General Topics] Bjd223:
I think what he is saying, and I would like to know this too, is can you block an apps access; on a per-application basis. Just because (insert app name) wants full internet and full call access doesn't mean I want to give it that.
[General Topics] freeincolorado:
IIRC, there is an app called Droidwall that can block use of the internet by other apps. I believe you need root access though.
[General Topics] gilamran:
isn't it possible?

I think that it's not much to ask... change the application access...

for example: I've installed a nice game, but it wanted access to my phone calls... dhaa.. why!?!?
[General Topics] chmckay:
Well, if the author made it 1.5 compatible then the OS grants it that permission even though the author didn't set it in the manifest file. I learned that when writing my app. The access to the phone call storage was restricted in 1.6, but anything compatible with 1.5 will have that permission, no matter what.
[General Topics] freeincolorado:
In this case, the game has access to your ohone calls so when a call comes in the game will pause so you can answer it. At least that's my theory.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHouseIT:
I've been trying different ROMS from here and incredibleroms.com but all seem to have one thing or another that just isnt working.

Now I dont want to insult any of the developers who are working on ROMS because I have mad respect for what they do. Lord knows I cant do it.

But does anyone know of a 2.1 ROM that is just the stock ROM that will run 100% on the Incredible? I had a Moto Droid and loved that it was just clean, and for the most part free of apps I didn't want.

I love the HTC Email client since I have an Exchange account but thats not a big deal since I purchased a copy of TouchDown...

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbnj4640:
I absolutely love the YASR rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHouseIT:
I think its great as well, however I get Force Closes with the Exchange client.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trillonometry:
Im thinking of picking up an Incredible... i would love to throw a vanilla rom on it that works perfectly so i can rid myself of sense. Whats the best one so far across these sites?

I'm keeping my eye on Cyanogenmod as i run this on my droid and my gf's eris... do any roms improve battery life noticeably?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHouseIT:
You wont be sorry with the Incredible... I think its a great phone. I moved from the Touch Pro2 ( WinMo ) to Moto Droid to the Incredible and love it.

I am currently trying JTs_Senseless_ROM_v1 and its working prefectly for me. What I have found is that many of these custom ROMs are touchy... they might work perfect for one and not for another. Most are really good ROMs and should be tried. For my phone, and use this one has been the best so far for stability and as close to Vanilla as I need to get.

Please HELP!!!!

After hours of searching I'm seeing people mentioning the same problem with wireless tether as I have however they are mentioning it in their custom ROM thread thinking its only specific tho their ROM but it seems to be a universal issue. I understand there are still many with it working great, so let's not try to turn this into a "mines working great" thread and instead diagnose why it's working for some and not others.

Problem: Computers cannot connect, transfer freezes at 0.4kb. This is the same exact problem everyone is having (those who have problems) with Wireless Tether.

Things I've done to try to fix it:

1. Wiped Cache

2. Restored a Nandroid that was working great

3. Flashed the new kernal

4. Reinstalled AVA's Froyo Sense

5. uninstalled and reinstalled Wireless Tether

6. Tried the new beta version of wireless tether

Please help guys, this is vital to my business needs. I can live with the bugs in the ROM and things but this one I really need. You guys are great. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] noscci:
Im having the same problem...bump?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jocampo86:
I have the same problem..even madea thread nobody seems to help...

Things I have tried to fix

Rerun the simple rootwiped cache,dalvik cache ,flashed other roms..

Reran the simpleroot which downgraded me than rerooted to the toast method...

And flashed custom roms...nothing

Seems like its working but only get 4 kb down and 2 kb up ,

If I scan I don't see my wireless teether

Please help...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Tyzing:
I found a possible fix.... i will try it tomorrow and let you guys know
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jocampo86:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chocmatic:
What versions of wireless tether have you tried?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jocampo86:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Tyzing:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jocampo86:
I downloaded the 2.05 and 2.02 from market even beta same results 4kb up and 2 kb down.......I heard unrevoked 3 fixes the issue but want to stay fully rooted
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] techn0:
Possible workaround

I am not sure if this is going to help but I took a trip this last weekend and thought I would give the tether a try. I think I was having the same problem you guys are seeing. The laptop would connect to the phone just fine but the internet would just simply not work.

After getting pretty pissed I opened the phones web browser while wireless tether was enabled and boom it started working on the laptop and continued to work for a couple of hours.

When I tried it again later the same thing happened I just needed to open the browser on the phone to get it working. Like the phone needed to be forced locally to make an internet connection.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nova0387:
I'm not sure what the exact prob you guys are having but maybe this could be of help....

The problem is that custom roms "intregrate" our app into their roms. They don't install it but copy it to /system/app or /data/app. By not installing it a shared library is not copied to the right location! It's not the fault of the app!!!

What you could do:

Remove the preinstalled app from /system/app or /data/app and install it manually!

Download: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk

OR install mentioned shared-library manually:

1) Extract wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk (using winzip/winrar).

2) in "lib/armeabi" you will find a file named "libnativetask.so"

3) Copy this file to your device:

adb remount

adb push libnativetask.so /system/lib
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jocampo86:
Did anybody found a fix for this problem yet?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evohnoo:
I hope you find a fix, all I can do is tell you what I do each and everytime I load a new ROM, or a new Wireless Tether APP.

I open the app, click tether... allow it to get superusers premissions.

Hit menu, access control, and ENABLE access control

Hit back, stop tethering, allow super users premissions

Close APP

Restart app, click tether and connect

I had your problem once, and this method with the newest version cured it. Hope you find your fix
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ruffytdog:
I had this problem a few weeks ago. I was able to fix it, but i didn't document how i did it.

This is how I think i fixed it.

1. Use Titanium backup to wipe data, and then uninstall it.

2. Go into recovery mode and wipe cache partition.

3. Reboot

4. Then re-install wireless tether app (i installed the pre-9 from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list)

I have a feeling I'm forgetting a step, but I hope this works.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] willy900wonka:
I've never been able to get the market version to work. Always thought it was "old" code.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

I am posting this using wireless tether pre9, on fresh's 3.3 with kingx cfs11 kernel.

Oh to install it. First unistall what ever version you're trying. Then do a fresh install of the download.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] serpentine009:
I was able to fix by uninstalling and then reinstalling pre10. Just an FYI
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ruffytdog:
At the time I had the problem, the uninstall and re-install method didn't work. I tried re-installing a few of the different "pre" versions. Then I finally tried the clear cache between one of my uninstall/reinstall, and then it finally worked. dunno why, but that was the issue i was having...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kamasi36:
Stumbled across this when streaming free TV app. They have a great deal of content, live channel, movies on demand and HBO, HBO needs a Window Plug-In though. The Other players work and are built in, some optimized for Adobe 10.1, the others, not so good. Overall, I think 24.99 subscription for first 6 months is very reasonable for what is available. You can watch on multiple computers as long as you want. Streaming live TNT works really well on Nexus in stock browser. Also player allows you to go full screen. After first 6 months it goes back to regular price of 35 or 36 something like that. But if you don't like you can always cancel. They also have great support, from what I have read. Right now I'm streaming HBO from my PC and simultaneously TNT from my phone logged in at both places. So if you want live TV on your phone at an affordable price,with a wide variety of content, this is an option. It's user friendly with search bar, and built in players. Here is the Link: http://www.1tvpc.com/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ohgood:
haxxored ?

are accounts being broken on xda and spammers posting constant crap about live tv ... or did i miss something ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kamasi36:
Must be a full moon or something. This is the app theme section right, No spam here. It's not actually an app but , I thought others might be interested in the option. It streams through the browser live shows that are on TV. Is that better for you?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] junjlo:
how legit is this ive been lookin for away to save cash and i can hook my laptop to my 55 inch tv
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Not to be a forum nazi or anything but if its not a Theme and if its not a app then perhaps its better off in the General Section?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djunio:
Might check this out, why are you watching Lifetime for lol?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Blueman101:
just use a slingbox
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dessanct:
Isn't that pretty expensive?

When I go on 1TVPC it says there's just a one time fee of $24.99.. no monthly charges and stuff.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kamasi36:
24.99 is for the first 6 months. Then 34.99 for every 6 months after. Jetflicks TV in the market is 29.99 for 6 months and doesn't offer any live channels, but has a wide variety to choose from.(shows). Sling box is connected to your cable TV. Which means you must have the Sling Box and cable tv + the app in order for it to work. Approximately 200 for box and and app on the market and the price of your cable every month. 1tvpc you don't need cable at all. All premium channels work on the Nexus except HBO. FX, USA,TNT TBS SPIKE TRUTV DISCOVERY CHANNEL CNN MSNBC HISTORY CHANNEL ESPN ESPN 2 LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK ABC CBS NBC all these live channels work on Nexus. Plus there is no interruption like Mobi TV asking if your still watching. I fell asleep watching TNT in the morning when I awoke it was still on, streaming on Nexus. You can also create favorites so all you channels are easy to navigate within one location.
[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
Got PdaNet to work fine with a couple rooted Arias on ATT.

Question, does this method work, anyone tried ?

--> http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
additional question:

since it's fast and easy to 'chew through' 100mb/day by watching videos, what is the consensus on using tethering without a 'tethering plan' from ATT? what is different about it for reading/sending text email vs using phone for youtube?

see this post ... didn't want to end up a 'cheap cigar'
[HTC Aria General] hashbrown:
At&t has changed since the days of unlocked ebay specials. They know when you are using more data now. I got the damn email from them saying I went over my limit. I'm on unlimited data!
[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
my question was not about volume of data, have no worries about going over limit, question was about use of tethering overall, best practise, the google solution vs pdanet (which works fine on a rooted aria)

if the answer is "...don't do it..." would like to hear about it.

if the answer is "...any amount of data transferred via tethering ... triggers cheap cigar treatment..." would like to hear about it.
[HTC Aria General] ariaFTW:
From what I've heard, as long as you don't go over your data limit you should be fine. They have no way to tell whether you're tethering. The "unlimited" plan is actually limited to 5 GB.
[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
yes, I am aware the unlimited has a limit also, plus it is simple to check on daily status by logging on to my account online and verifying data/minutes/etc or using the automatic sms method
[HTC Aria General] dsjr2006:
That is not true
[HTC Aria General] ariaFTW:
@dsjr2006 are you sure about that? I've been tethering on att for a couple years, first with jailbroken iphones and then a backflip and aria. I'm careful to never go over 5 gb and have never had a problem.

I can't think of anyway att would be able to tell whether you're using data on the phone or through tethering. That said, tethering without a data plan that supports it is a violation of your contract and att would certainly be free to cancel your contract if they found out.
[HTC Aria General] z3ddicus:
Not sure why this thread died, but I am wondering about this too. I am tethering after rooting my Aria, without a tethering plan. When I do a speed test I get a download speed result of over 3 Mbps, but if I try to actually download anything it starts but the speed decreases to the point of utter uselessness and continues to decrease until I cancel the download. Is this AT&T somehow detecting that I am tethering and throttling my speed?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stalte:
I have been using my Evo for a while now and every time I upgrade my Roms I have to go through the entire proses in the backup apps.

1. The app asks you if you want to install.

2. The app shows you what privileges the downloaded app will be using.

3. Downloads the app

4. Asks if you want to open or done.

When I have 127 apps and at about 30 seconds an app, this takes forever. My question is, is there a way to do it faster? Like one click all apps downloaded.

You have to buy the donate version of titaniumbackup (there is a link in the app that takes you to the page where you buy it). Once you do that, you can do 1 button restores. Just be aware that it might take a day or so to get you license key via email.

also mybackup pro does the same thing as the donate version of titanium pro....its actually a little nicer in that there are a few more options as to what you can save
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joel.bourquard:
Hi,

I'm the developer of Titanium Backup. So expect some obvious bias ;)

Honestly, I think the strength of MyBackup Pro is that it makes accurate backups of the phone data (sms, mms, contacts, etc) and can do that across any ROM versions.

But if you want to backup & restore your apps with their settings, or keep several versions of an app, or uninstall system apps - in short, everything that has to do with your apps - you should definitely go with Titanium Backup imho. Plus the free version is not a trial - it's unlimited.

For more info or comparisons, please make your own opinion by reading a couple reviews:

http://matrixrewriter.com/android/

One more thing: Titanium Backup requires a rooted phone.

Hello all,

Just yesterday, I noticed something in my screen which I thought that it was a foggy screen from inside, so I thought that I'd leave the screen for the night, and let it dry. However, I woke up the next morning only to realize my screen stopped functioning, touch screen stopped working (please see attached files). Did someone experience a similar issue? Good thing I though squaretrade warrently when I bought the phone. I'm just worried they'll think its a physical damage. btw, should I restore everything to manufacturer settings? I installed ENERGY ROM. However, I wouldn't know how to do it since the touchscreen does not work.

Thanks in advance...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
First, this looks like a collapsed digitizer.

You can try to pull the top layer away with duct tape, that might get you running again.

For warrant, if they refuse, fight them because it is a common issue with the Topaz. Search for "Newton Rings" or "Oil under screen" for many more posts related to this hardware failure.

You may want to flash back to stock before returning it, just to make sure they don't try to claim its software related.

To do this you would need to flash back to your stock ROM first, then go the the HSPL thread and and flash the relocker. You can do this without using your screen.

I would also take a good look at your warranty and if you can get away with permanently disabling it for a new device.
